Issue/Introduction

After starting the Primary SpectroSERVER and reaching 100% activation CORBA::TIMEOUT errors are constantly written in the VNM.OUT


$SPECROOT/SS/VNM.OUT

Cause

The Fault Tolerant (FT) landscape had just been decomissioned but was still up and active while the primary was no longer able to resolve the FT landscapes name. The FT was
    connecting to the Primary but the Primary was unable to respond.

Resolution

Prevent the decomissioned server from being able to connect and remove it from the landscape map.

- update the .hostrc file on ALL SpectroSERVERs removing the decomissioned landscapes name

      $SPECROOT/.hostrc
      (delete the FT landscape name)

- On the MLS remove the FT Secondary from the map

     cd $SPECROOT/SS-Tools/
     ./MapUpdate -remove <landscape Handel> -p <precedence>


The removal of the host from the .hostrc file should prevent it from making a Corba connection and repopulating into the landscape map. Ideally one should
   update the $SPECROOT/LS/.locrc file on a server being decomissioned and set the main location server to itself to prevent it from connecting out.
